Acai Berry and 2013 Diet Foods

January is always the best time to start a diet and decide to live a healthy life. Although there are many exercises and diet plans that can help you get the body you have always wanted, knowing which one to follow is a daunting task. Thankfully, there is a simple way to lose those extra fats and that is by eating superfoods such as:

Acai is a fruit of a palm tree with the same name. It is native around the area of the Amazon Forest and it is known to be rich with antioxidants, amino acids and other nutrients. An Acai fruit is originally dark purple in color. It is rare to find acai berries in the supermarket. However, most cafes and gyms around the country offer Acai in powder form which can be added to fruit shakes and smoothies.

Kale Chips

Do you love potato chips? If so, you will even love kale chips. Kale chips are vegetable chips that are packed with the anti-cancer ingredient, bioflavonoids. Aside from this, kale is also rich in potassium, folate, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron and calcium. You can purchase these baked treats at health-food stores nationwide.

Dairy-free Protein Powder

A sachet of protein powder has 20 grams or more of protein which is perfect if you need a high-protein diet. This is also perfect for vegetarians and for losing weight as it provides your body with the protein it needs without getting it from pork chops, eggs and cheese. For those with lactose intolerance, there are several dairy-free protein powders available in supermarkets.

Coconut Products

Aside from Acai Berry, drinking coconut water can also help you lose weight. Coconut water is rich with unique fatty acids as well as sodium and potassium. Coconut flesh is also a good source of fiber.
